1. What are the aims of conducting patent searches?

Patent searches are conducted for example in order to:

• establish the state of art in the domain of an invention for which patent protection is to be sought and check its novelty prior to filing (patentability search)
• provide information on existing exclusive rights for a product, device, technology etc. (infringement search)
• monitor patent policy and development of a firm

It should be noted that the results of patent searches should never be considered 100% sure.
